Jacob Simonini

MOMSc, AEMCA, ACP. Osteopathic Manual Practitioner

Jacob is an Osteopath whose career began as an Advanced Care Paramedic with many
other focuses in the medical field. Jacob was a clinical instructor in the Advanced Care Paramedic program, a preceptor for Advanced Care Paramedic students, and studied and researched alongside a team of physicians involved in prehospital trauma and cardiac arrest
examination. Looking for a new challenge and a more in-depth understanding of human bodies, Jacob began his osteopathic career at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy (CAO). Later, Jacob received a Master of Osteopathic Manual Science (MOMSc) and pursued a professional position as a member of the Ontario Osteopathic Association (OOA). Jacob betters his patients to the utmost ability using osteopathic skills and reasoning. The central idea Osteopathy teaches and what Jacob tries to preach and apply during treatments is that the practice seeks to free the natural healing capabilities of the body.

Moreover, each treatment Jacob gives is tailored to every individual and the condition of
their body. Due to the inability to truly identify the human body’s unique capabilities and never-ending true potential, Jacob continuously pursues the study of Osteopathy with the utmost diligence and dedication to challenging himself, knowing the answer to the body’s authentic potential will never be discovered. In doing so, Jacob pushes his limits and aspires to follow Marcus Aurelius’ noble words: “It takes courage to practice something that can never be mastered”

Rui believes that classical osteopathy is arguably the most holistic of all approaches to alleviating pain and the symptoms of disease. It recognizes the mind/body/spirit connections that make us whole. Every patient is unique and the treatments he provides vary depending on the individual. He applies the classical style of osteopathy to his patients, which is painless, non-invasive gentle and light, yet precise and to the point.

This unique integrated approach combines both exercise and osteopathy in order to help with patients’ overall health concerns and vitality.

Kendra Thomson

Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), CSMTA (SCM), CSEP-CPT, Fascial Stretch Therapist FST (Level 3 Medical), Doula

A true athlete and nature lover at heart, I’m a multi-faceted health and wellness practitioner with a number of certifications in the healthcare field, including massage therapy, fascial stretch therapy, personal training, birth coaching, and energy healing. My commitment to a whole-body approach to health radiates in my passion for helping each and every client I work with feel great — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Growing up in the Yukon, I graduated with a Diploma in Human Kinetics while playing university volleyball at Capilano University in North Vancouver. During my time on the West Coast, I became a CSEP-Certified Personal Trainer before relocating to Toronto where I went on to graduate from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in June 2014.

What makes my practice unique and the reason my clients love working with me stretches beyond my professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail — it’s in my commitment to delivering a second-to-none experience that focuses on helping my clients feel supported, relaxed, heard, energized, and happy. I guess you could say that my own personal spiritual healing journey has allowed me to step into a role that truly supports my clients in the most empowering and unique way possible. 

My ultimate goal is to provide effective, functional, professional treatments to every single client I work with. My drive and dedication to helping others has provided me with the ability to communicate and connect with my clients and aid in their road to recovery through a holistic and whole-body approach to health and wellness. 

I can’t wait to get up close and personal with your subscapularis…and have a good laugh!
